The Reptile Room

The Reptile Room
Lemony Snicket
****
The Baudelaire's have moved again, this time, into the country. Uncle Monty has agreed to adopt and share his big house with them. But when Count Olaf comes back disguised as Stephano and has planned to whisk the orphans away on their upcoming trip to Peru. But, when Uncle Monty ripped up Stephano's ticket because he thought he was a spy from his herpetology company, Count Olaf Uncle monty and tried to convince Mr. Poe that he died of a snake bite and made a will letting him take care of the children, but the authorites came and Count Olaf got away. My favorite part of the book is when Stephano arrives and tries to reason with the children that he is not Count Olaf, but they don't believe him, so he threatens to cut of one of Sunny's toes. If want to know what happens next, you have to read it to find out!!

Hi I'm reading this book too. I also like the part when Stephano reached uncle Monty's house. It's an amazing book I love it.
